Inventor: QUIGLEY JON M
IPC: B60R16/02
Filed: 2000-09-08
Abstract: Method and apparatus for interfacing steering wheel inputs on a
steering wheel assembly 10 with electronically-controlled devices in a
vehicle. A steering wheel interface module 20 in the steering wheel
assembly 10 is connected between the steering wheel inputs 54 and a data
communication bus 24 in the steering wheel assembly. The steering
wheel inputs 54 provide control information to the steering wheel
interface module 20, which in turn formulates data messages based on the
control information and transmits the data messages on the data
communication bus 24 in the steering wheel assembly. Preferably, the
steering wheel interface module includes a processing unit 50 and a
memory 52 in communication with the processing unit. The data
messages are formulated by the processing unit in accordance with
programmed instructions stored in the memory. The programmed
instructions and/or data messages stored in the memory may be modified
or supplemented at a later time. The steering wheel interface module 20
may also have a communication connection with one or more outputs 70
on the steering wheel assembly for displaying status information. The
data communication bus 24 in the steering wheel assembly is electrically
connected through a rotational connection assembly to a data
communication bus 26 in the vehicle that conveys the data messages sent
by the steering wheel interface module to the electronically-controlled
devices in the vehicle

transition duct (28) and the impingement cooling sleeve (30); and b)
redirecting the cooling air from the end frame (26) into the annulus (44)
between the transition duct (28) and the impingement cooling sleeve (30).

Abstract: A control apparatus for an automatic transmission achieves a predetermined speed-change operation from sixth speed to third speed through a pre-phase speed-change operation in which a first engagement element (B1) and a third engagement element (C1) are released and engaged respectively and through a post-phase speed-change operation in which a second engagement element (C2) and a fourth engagement element (C3) are released and engaged respectively. The control apparatus sets a target rotational acceleration of an input shaft of the transmission, and controls release of the second engagement element for a transition to the post-phase speed-change operation in accordance with the target rotational acceleration. Thus, the input speed during the transition from the pre-phase speed-change operation to the post-phase speed-change operation changes continuously, so that bluntness is prevented from being caused between the pre-stage and post-stage speed-change operations.

to an external network using IP (e.g., IPv4 or IPv6) protocol.
In addition, the E-LSR may also receive a packet from one of the
bridges over an LSP, remove a label, route or bridge the packet,
apply a new label, and then label switch it to one of the VLAN
bridges over an LSP. Further, the E-LSR may also receive a
packet from one of the bridges over an LSP, swap labels, and then
label switch it to one of the bridges over an LSP.

Abstract: A machine and method for corrugating a metal foil strip (S)
utilizes an enclosure (10) defining a chamber and a
controllable heat source (30) for heating the chamber. The
chamber may optionally include at least one gas that is
also heated by the heat source. At least one tool set (36)

actuate the tool set. Foil exit delivery elements (38) guide
the strip from the tool set and out of the chamber. Where
required to prevent oxidation of the foil strip, a source (26)
supplying an inert gas to the chamber at a controlled rate
is used.

Abstract: A synchronous signal generator according to the
present invention outputs a pulse with low jitter by
setting the sine wave output of a crystal oscillator
close to an ideal sine wave, and converting it into a
pulse signal. By passing the sine wave output from the
crystal oscillator of an oscillation frequency f through
a filter unit having an equal center frequency f0,
inputting output of a filter unit into a pulse converter,
and converting the result into a pulse of a rectangular
waveform, thereby obtaining an output signal. By
configuring the filter unit by the crystal filter and
setting it equal to the crystal oscillator in
frequency-temperature characteristic, an output signal
can be obtained with low jitter although the temperature
